ABOUT QUINN SULLIVAN

Quinn rose to prominence in the mid 2000’s and continues to amaze audiences worldwide. Born in Boston in 1999 and raised in New Bedford Massachusetts, Quinn grew up in a musical household listening to classic rock, jazz and blues. He credits his early obsession with The Beatles as the impetus to pursue music as a full time career. He received his first guitar at the tender age of three and quickly demonstrated exceptional, natural talent. He gained national attention with appearances on afternoon and late-night television shows, the likes of The Tonight Show, Ellen, Jimmy Kimmel and Conan O’Brian). In 2007, Quinn met music legend Buddy Guy who invited him onstage and would later invite him to tour as his support and record with him throughout the next decade.

Over the years, Quinn has evolved from a remarkable young talent, into a mature, emotive artist known for blending blues, rock, and classic influences. His discography includes multiple albums, with his fifth release, “Salvation,” recognized as his most personal work, exploring themes of loss, love, and resilience. He has been praised not only for his exceptional guitar skills but also for his songwriting, drawing inspiration from both his musical roots and his own life experiences.

Quinn’s personal journey profoundly influences his music and his stage performance, reflecting years of growth and emotional depth shaped by life experiences including personal loss and soulful introspection. His recent albums explore themes of love, loss, hardship, and redemption, which translate into performances full of honest emotion and at the same time, infectious raw energy and enthusiasm, making every concert a personal and transformative experience for the audience.
